Why would Amazon support it? Because under this scheme, Amazon, eBay, Google, and every other big content provider will be paying money to the telcos in order to get their content to the consumer with decent speed.
The telcos forget that the ONLY reason people are paying for their services in the first place is that there's content to be downloaded.

IMO, it is because once the government regulates things, money is sure to follow. This would set Internet companies up for a new source of subsidies.
"Net neutrality" is, imo, socialism for the Internet.
